I am not so sure about this. I bought diesel all the time for my Bobcats. I remember bringing some cans to a BP station for diesel and grabbed the green handle. Turns out it was gasoline and I wasn’t paying complete attention.

Could be or could not be.

I would think something bad would happen if you put diesel fuel in a gas engine, but maybe not. There is a video on YouTube where diesel is put into the empty tank of a gasoline car and then it is driven around. Eventually, it starts to run rough, but it did not get worse than that. Then gasoline is put into the empty tank of a diesel car and the result was pretty much the same.

BP uses green as its corporate color. Some stations might have green handles because of that.

This woman appears to be at a Shell station.

I recently returned from vacation in Crete. Their unleaded is the green handle. Took me a second when the attendant (they pump for you) grabbed that.
